“Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis’s political director in New York,” the Spectator’s Matthew Vadum writes. The good folks at The Corner put this news in perspective: “No doubt, some will dismiss the newly revealed connections between the Obama administration, Patrick Gaspard, Bertha Lewis, and ACORN as ‘guilt by association,'” writes Stanley Kurtz. “Yet it seems to me that the evidence points to something more significant than that. We are talking about a persistent and shared political-ideological alliance between President Obama and the complex of community, labor, and party organizations controlled by ACORN.”

So there you have it: Though he saved the country from certain economic collapse, Obama has indellible ties to ACORN!

Obama may have saved the country from economic collapse and the potential of a continuing legacy of illegally and unConstitutionally torturing anyone we can get our hands on, but WHAT’S UP WITH ACORN? I hadn’t even heard about them in the Kerry/Bush contest. Now I find out they’ve been around for years??? Why weren’t we all over this! I hope no Regent U grads accidentally worked there! (J/K! There’s no money in helping the poor! Regent U grads know better than that!)
